“If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, ..." Agree or disagree? Why?

“If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.” - Frank Zappa.

1) Do you agree or disagree with this statement? And why? 2) What is current life situation? Are you successful/happy/content with your life?

Love yourself first and foremost. Learn a trade. If you don't like someone get to know them.Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.Never quit a job unless you have another lined up.Experience other cultures.Never let a salesman make you wait.Judge people on the content of their character.Be a confident, masculine, confidence inspiring, and man of character.

One of the best things my father ever told me was, that he raised me to do better than he ever did, so I honored that and did just that. I've traveled to many countries, been in two branches of the military (Army & Navy) and have experienced the vast richness of life. I've always maintained my values and my beliefs have remained flexible since I don't know everything, some beliefs can be flawed or limited, so I always challenge myself and what I believe by seeking the truth in everything, I always look for answers to everything, I don't think my problems are new, someone somewhere has insight, into what I want to know. My father started me reading and seeking answers when I was 4 and I never stopped wanting to know things. I'm a sponge for information.

Really? Where did you hear/get that from?I think both Geminis and Aquarius are flighty. But Geminis are more all over the place/scattered, while Aquariuses live in their own world (at least some of them).

I hang out on the INFP and INTJ forums, or Personality cafe, and many are like that Libra or Gemini, some are Scorpios too, but usually ENFP that I've seen. Aquarians are not flighty we just march to a beat of our own drum , like being independent. Gemini are very indecisive and flighty to me. I had a girlfriend that I couldn't make plans with to save my life, well she had low self esteem too, something I see a lot in INFPs.

Hmm interesting. I don't consider those Libra traits though, only the indecisiveness is true - very hesistant to make the 'wrong choice'... At least for me and when it gets really bad I don't make a choice - which also is making a choice. So yeah.I don't know much about INFPs except they are the same as ENFPs but their motivation is more intrinsic than extrinsic- compared to ENFPs.

You're very right about INFP's I find them quite self absorbed, lol As an Aquarian I like action takers and sometimes I push for people to take action, not always an easy sell. Do you have any good reference resources on Libras?

Wow, a lot... Technically they say that Aquarius are also not very practical, however because they are a fixed sign, they don't quit. While Libras are initiators but don't finish, so we always start projects (we are a cardinal sign) but need other "fixed" signs to finish the job. When is your birthday? Depending on your moon sign and other influences of the planets upon your birth, it affects your behaviour. It is really interesting I find and I do believe it can be true..

I had my astrology guide done already. Yeah Aquarians are not at all practical, we sometimes ham fist things such as putting a square peg in a round hole. It's true we never give up were relentless in our pursuits. I did find though that you can carve a square peg into a rod and it fits well in a round hole, lol With my chart done much was very true for me. I'm going to read this information on Libras more.

I think love is more important to Libras, not marriage. I think they would be OK with a long term relationship. So when you said I talk like an Aquarian, that means I speak in a cold logical manner? lol

No, you don't speak in a cold logical manner. Your paragraph and the way you said that you are made me figure out/assume you were an Aquarius.

- Always seeking knowledge (truth)- Having certain values that will never budge (but open to changing beliefs because you recognize you don't know the whole truth (point 1)).- Curious- Well traveled- Challenging yourself- Always seeking new knowledge

This sounds like very male Aquarius (maybe also INTJ) traits to me. My father is an Aquarius. I think he is also an INTJ and you sounded exactly like him. I also have another friend who is an Aquarius and he would fit that description too - except he is also very adventurous and daredevil (but I think it is because he has Aries influence).

So yeah, all those points together, made me assume you were an Aquarius :)

Ohhh I see, you are very well versed on your knowledge of us. :) So if the solution to my love problems as the site suggested is to be more open and I have been, yet still it eludes me. What's your take on this. In the past I admit I was closed off and not open to being emotional even though I'm not really an emotional person outwardly, as in flying off the handle over trivial or petty things. Like jealousy for example, I don't get jealous in the sense of a woman liking a celebrity or having a past, for me that seems silly. Being open minded and humanitarian, seems to be odd to some people. What's your take on this? Am I doing something wrong? I seem to attract a lot of women with trust issues and when they find out I like them as I'm direct they freak out and bail, lol

Hmm, I dont know but sometimes I think aquarius is the sign of "affairs and flings" until committed - which seems to not happen too often but when they do they commit (at least that's what I've read). For example my father was married then was single for 10 years with a lot of 'flings' until he met my mother - then were together for 18 years and only few years ago decided to get married lol And they are both Aquarius. He met her when he was 50 :p so u know... you still have time :P

I think maybe because they are considered 'aloof', they attract 'emotionally unavailable' women who are hurt and only want to have fun... So I think maybe being more "emotionally open" would be best when going after women, however, be more selective in the women you choose. I think after the first few dates you can really assess what kind of person a person is if you observe them. How they speak about others, their past relationships, etc.. How open they are with you and more. Sometimes it takes longer

Ohhhh, mm, that's an unexpected combination... interesting. This may be a little bit intrusive but are you very well off financially? Having that combination I would assume one would be. Capricorn is an extremely dedicated hard worker and aquarius is a very creative, original (almost genius?) type with a lot of aspirations (mind in the sky/eyes on the stars) so I would assume that high aspirations with a very dedicated/ ambitious/hard working moon would be a very good mix! Especially in the professional business. However... then I can understand the relationship troubles... Aquarius that is very aloof and capricorn that is veryyyyyy reserved does not "seem" to be the most "romantic" or "affectionate" type of person... which would make sense as t why you are attracting emotionally unavailable girlss... Hmmm, is that how i described it anything like your situation? Ofc, I could be wrong. But seeing that you are also an INTJ - which is a very logical, rational and not a very

"emotional demonstrative" type, I can understand why it all makes so much sense. Having that said, do you always try to analyze people and your relationships or what exactly is the trouble? You attract girls who are afraid of commitment?

Maybe you can actually help me with my situation and parental troubles! haha :(

Ohh.. also seeing that Aquarius is the "adventurous type" who walks to the beat of his own drum and then Capricorn that's very individualistic... You get the "Adventurous individual who likes and appreciates his space" but then again, both aquarius and caps are very loyal and committed when in relationship which might explain your want for commitment... Whenever I find someone that I like's birthday, I usually go to find out their moon sign, then it helps me "prejudge them" or assume to get to know and understand them better. So to help you out a bit, I went to look for yours, maybe you can find this interesting.. is it any similar to you? universal-tao-eproducts.com/.../...s-capricorn.pdf

lol... ok last comment (4th one)... " Because you are soindependent and secure it is hard for you to comprehend individuals who havepsychological problems. " LOL... i found that funny :P haha is that true for you? lol

Yes I attract girls that have commitment issues, yet I find that is either due to being cynical toward men or due to low self esteem, so not sure why they like me so much, but act aloof and ambiguous then turn around and go why don't you commit to me, you're hot and cold, my ex dedicated the song Karma Chameleon to me, as if I was the one waffling in my attraction or interest in her, and the funny thing was I was making all the effort to connect and keep in touch, remember important dates, gift giving, and other such important relationship things and I'm painted as the bad guy, LOL I do analyze things after they go south, as to the reasons why and see if I'm at fault for the upset or reason why they tend to sabotage things when going well. I think being super stable is the reason I attract my opposite. I do get paid well, yet not financially independent, but I do have extensive knowledge in making money, I have built 2 multi million dollar companies from scratch.

I can help you with your situation and parental problems, or at least explain the behavior, it does have a cause to it. I don't have a problem comprehending individuals with psychological problems, I can relate to them well I used to have depression as a teen. I'm not a robot, just an encyclopedia. haha :) I do have feelings, and emotions just they are often controlled unless they threaten some one I care about or threaten my values, such as in a humanitarian sense. I'm big on acts of kindness.

What Guys Said 11

Definitely!!! EVERYONE CAN CHOOSE their life!! You don't have to date THAT guy, you don't have to let him fck you, YOU can choose your life, even if your parents don't like it, or disagree!!Granted, for some people, some cultures it is easier than others, but ultimately, it is YOUR LIFE, and you will probably outlive your parents, so why suffer with their choices for you, LOOOONG after they are dead?Seems like the ones that come from money have it good, but the rest of us that work for everything need to choose our own way, because only what we earn, is ours!!

Agree. Don't ignore their advice, but make your own decisions and accept responsibility for them. they are different people, with different perspectives and they are not you. But also, don't just do what society says to do because it is garbage. TV, media, magazines, your friends, your culture is filled with bad behavior that is bad for you and others, but they make it look good for some reason. Cultures can be sick as well, like Indian or arab, or chinese culture towards women.

Some advise the above people mentioned might be good, some of the advise might be not so good. It all depends on the circumstances and the advise given. I think as we get older we can evaluate what we were taught when we were younger and make decisions that work for us. I'd say most of what my parents said was good. I'd say most of the advise teachers gave was good. Some other stuff I heard was not really for me. So it goes each way and it is up to the individual to come up with their own healthy choice of how to live their life.

1. Absolutely. Because people are stupid, and they don't know what they're talking about. If they did, then the world wouldn't be a shithole. Don't trust anyone to tell you what is 'correct' or 'true' they're all full of themselves.

2. Yup. I am content and happy. I'm just a student, cashier and saving up my money to go overseas. I don't believe in success, I think that's rubbish. "Success" is a concept people made up, what actually exists is called privilege.

I disagree. Your mom, dad, teacher, or priest was giving you advice and trying to guild you, it's up to you in the end what you do. Quit blaming others. Take responsibility for your decisions and actions.

I disagree with this statement. Countless humans have to do things against their will everyday and they don't deserve it.

I am unhappy because my only sexual experience in life was with four swindlers pretending to be prostitutes in the summer of 2015. I wish I had a real sex life.

I agree, but you can have the same when you go another way also. I've had a terribly boring life so far, and its because I can't get a decent job where o have money to spend, plus I've never had great friends, and never had a girlfriend. So there are many ways to have a shit life
